DD aged 13 has always struggled with friendships but has a couple of decent friends from primary that she occasionally sees, but only when I’ve arranged things with their parents.
Lockdown ms over the last 18 months haven’t helped and now she is spending the summer holidays stuck at home with nobody to hang out with much.
Yesterday I texted the mum of a primary friend (she does go to DD high school but they are not in same classes or same social circles) and asked her if PF was free to see DD. I did this because DD doesn’t really have the confidence to make arrangements herself. I didn’t tell DD I was doing this.
Now PF has texted DD and asked her over this afternoon. DD thinks this is out of the blue and doesn’t know I texted PF mum.
Do I tell her? I’m worried she’ll find out when she’s there and be embarrassed. I’m worried that if she knows I asked for this to happen she’ll feel like PF has taken pity on her rather than ask her over for her own sake.
I’m over thinking this! What should I do?
